8 Bit News - Liquor store offers discount for flashing breasts

by +Alexa Rankin

It's been a while but finally we have another 8-bit news story for you. The idea behind 8-bit news is to convert the supporting images to 8 bit versions (like on an old school computer) so that the pictures don't detract from the impact of the story.

This post is about a Florida liquor store which offers a sliding scale discount to ladies who flash the store staff.

Science proves that there are only 33 shades of grey

by +Tina Cruris

Fifty Shades of Grey my ass. Don't get fooled by the hype of the book series and the forthcoming movie (early 2015), there are only 33 shades of grey which can be distinguished by the human eye. In theory, photoshop can generate 256 shades of grey (so i'm told) but I can't tell the difference between #666666 and #676767.

I can't see the difference, can you?

Even with photoshop the Elton wig looks fake

Katy Perry let herself go since Russell Brand

by +Tina Cruris

International music celebrity and glamorcat, Katy Perry has been in the cross hairs of many a paparazzi's lens since she first hit the big time back in 2008. Her breakout single "I kissed a girl" got rave reviews and a star was born.

by +Alexa Rankin

Or in scurvy tongue, "Today be parlay like a salty dog day, Arrrrrr". I recently discovered that September 19th is Talk Like A Pirate Day, where we all have to do our very best Captain Jack Sparrow impersonations.

Just add rum.

Hello Bubes fans, today is the release day of Apple's latest mobile operating system, iOS 7. Being a major celebrity, I was given the opportunity to preview this momentous and life changing software update.

Friday 13th part III

by +Tina Cruris

This is the third installment of our Friday 13th series where we add very little content to the new post and just rely on what has gone before, much like the movies.

Superstitious much?

Bubes Says - Screw You Osama Bin Laden

Happy Patriot Day everyone. Today we remember those who lost their lives 12 year ago as terror struck the United States. Our thoughts and prayers are with everybody who has lost a loved one at the hands of terrorism, not just here in the US, but across the globe.

We are still here 12 years later, and you are not, Bin Laden

One Direction are the new Spice Girls

by +Ian C

Some years ago, the music industry and maybe even the world was astounded by 5 young British girls (ok 4 girls and 1 woman who lied about her age). Those fab five females were the Spice Girls and they were hell bent on delivering Girl Power to the masses. Now nearly 20 years later, we have the next generation of Spice Girls, except they are boys. They are One Direction.

Now where is that £22 million you promised me in the email?

Miley Cyrus stars in new movie - Twerknado

by +Alexa Rankin

SyFy channel has been known to commission some fairly crappy movies, mostly involving sharks, including their recent hit Sharknado. Just like John Water's movies of the 60's and 70's, these SyFy movies are 'so bad that they are good' cult classics.

Miley Cyrus - "Twerking is better than working"

Bubes Says - Meet Bubes Jr.

Hi ladies, it's me, Bubes. This will be a quick one this week since I have recently become a father, and I need to get my beauty sleep wherever and whenever I can.

I can't believe they photoshopped my face onto my own face

Axe Body Spray turns 30

by +Tina Cruris

In 1983 consumer goods giant Unilever unleashed Axe Body Spray onto an unsuspecting European market, where it was received with open underarms. The brand grew rapidly under a variety of brand names, including Lynx specifically for the UK market. Axe was finally launched in the US in 2002 and American women have been choking ever since.

Happy 30th birthday Lynx (UK) and Axe (US)
